Nazar Ke Samne

Nazar Ke Samne (Trailer) | a performance on beauty, justice and freedom

‘नज़र के सामने / Before your Eyes’ journeys between childhood, youth and adulthood. Filled with unfulfilled desires, confessions, secrets and dreams, the actors provoke questions around identity, freedom and justice. Nazar ke Samne is woven from personal experiences, listening closely to the body to reveal beauty and violence in everyday life. Given their lived experience of caste discrimination and various forms of violence, their theater making practice aims to create a space of dignity, freedom and self representation for women from marginalized communities. Nazar ke Samne has recently completed fifty shows, travelling across villages and urban centres in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana.
